I_HeERO Workshop & Demonstration in Athens

FABRIC: Feasibility analysis and development of on-road charging solutions for future electric vehicles

We are glad to invite you to a presentation of I_HeERO – “Infrastructure Harmonised eCall European Pilot” implementation in Greece, that will be held on Tuesday, 24 October 2017 at the Hellenic Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport facilities, in Athens (Anastaseos 2 &amp; Tsigante, GR-156 69  Papagos, Greece). 
The European project I_HeERO: Deployment pilot project of EU-wide eCall is aimed at the preparation of Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) in the participant Member States (Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Romania and Slovenia) for the deployment of eCall based on 112 as reference implementations. It addresses explicitly the PSAP element of the eCall roll-out and enables the PSAP to install hardware and software solutions that fit the necessary requirements within each Member State. The I_HeERO consortium is composed by 58 commercial partners and more than 100 associated partners. The Greek pilot site is implemented by the Hellenic Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, the Institute of Communication and Computer Systems (<A HREF="http://i-sense.iccs.gr/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">ICCS</A>), <A HREF="https://www.telematix.gr/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">G4S  Telematix</A>, <A HREF="http://www.cosmote.gr/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Cosmote</A>, <A HREF="http://www.ptl.gr/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">PTL</A> and <A HREF="http://www.e-trikala.gr/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">e-Trikala</A>.
